CompeteFor

CompeteFor is the vehicle through which London 2012 contractors will publish Games-related subcontracting and supplier opportunities.  It is an online interactive business networking and matching service bringing together 2012 Games contractors and potential suppliers.  It allows businesses to compete for direct and supply chain contracts. Companies can for collaboration and partnerships to compete or access the information to compete in the tier contactors supply chain. Companies registering and publishing will get advance information of matched opportunities.  The first stage of getting involved in the 2012 Games is to register your Business profile on the CompeteFor website.

Delivering the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games requires the procurement of goods, works and services from an enormous range of firms.  LOCOG will procure around £700m of goods and services and anticipates hundreds of direct contracts and thousands of supply chain opportunities.  They range from construction, engineering and manufacturing to creative, merchandising and retail. London 2012 directly buys and manages a comparatively small number of contracts with tier one suppliers or contractors. Most of the opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are likely to come from further down the supply chains.
